The royal family, however, will find it easy to breathe this time around after the book’s publisher announced that there will be no updates in the new edition. The announcement is an unusual move for an international bestseller as most editions include few updates to promote the sales.

Prince Harry extends an olive branch
The release of the paperback editions will open up past stitches as Prince Harry’s explosive claims about the royal family might take centre stage again. However, his decision to not include any new updates or claims can be considered as a gesture of reconciliation with the royal family.
Harry's memoir Spare, published on January 10, became a global sensation, selling over six million copies and setting a Guinness World Record for the fastest-selling non-fiction book. Despite its financial success, the book and its associated media appearances faced criticism for perceived betrayal by Prince Harry on the the royal family.
While there will be no new updates on the royal family and related matters, the previous claims led Prince Harry to estrangement from his family, especially his brother, Prince William. Hence, this can be seen as the former’s attempt to smooth things over with his brother, as reported by Daily Mail.
